Division explanation

B- Recreational volleyball. Not always bump, set, spike. (We don’t have a league or tournaments yet for this level but can if the interest is there)

BB- Has knowledge of the game, plays bump, set, spike volleyball but typically cant crush a spike, jump serve or score (side out) most times when receiving a serve.

A- More consistent than a BB player and sides out rather consistently when served.

AA- The closest level to semi pro. Typically a very tall and athletic blocker at the net with a quicker athletic player playing behind him or her. Sides out very consistently when served.

Open- Pretty much semi pro level

We will also be doing a 3 vs 3 sand volleyball league that will run on wednesday nights (gametimes 630PM and 730 PM with occasional or makeup games at 530PM). Teams can be made of any number of girls/guys. The level is mostly BB with some A and AA players. The league will start on May 15th and end in the middle of August. The cost is $100 per team and the winners will get custom t shirts.

Our courts are fully updated since 2016 with new sand, nets, polls, antennas and edge guard (currently being installed). 6 foot tall perimeter fencing is also being installed soon. Tournament players from Ohio, PA and Maryland have come to play these past few years and some have said when considering the court quality and backdrop of the lake, it’s their favorite place to play.

Wildlife Management

Welcome to the Treasure Lake Wildlife Committee page.

The Wildlife Committee was formed to address wildlife concerns and the growing over population of the deer herd in our suburban community. Treasure Lake property had not been hunted for some 40 years and as a result the deer herd grew out of control. The deer population causes extensive property damage in addition to severely degrading the forest that surrounds our property. Regeneration of trees and other plant life is nonexistent. The deer themselves also suffered. Many deer have died of starvation in the harsh winter months because no food was present. Property owner’s shrubbery soon became the target of starving deer.

In the fall of 2006, the first archery management program was conducted in Treasure Lake with the approval of the Treasure Lake Board of Directors. This was the first step in controlling the deer herd within our community.

In 2009, the Board of Directors approved an additional management program allowing flintlock primitive firearms. Because of the over population problem, Treasure Lake falls under the PA Game Commission’s DMAP program for herd control. An additional number of antlerless permits are available based on the management plan to control the deer herd.

The Committee enlists the help of Penn State University’s Cooperative Extension Service to perform a pellet count and browse study every other year. This study projects herd size and area density which directs us in our harvest planning. This study is also a measurement of the effectiveness of the management hunts.

Even though our goal is to control the deer herd; our primary concern is for the safety of the residents in Treasure Lake. Both management programs take place in pre determined areas of Treasure Lake. The flintlock program takes place in the most remote, secluded 1200 acres in the Lake. Specific participant rules are in place to ensure there are no hunter / resident conflicts. The Committee takes this responsibility very seriously.

Management programs such as this require yearly participation and monitoring. This is the most cost effective and scientifically proven means to control an over population problem. The Committee is proud to say the cost to Treasure Lake residents is zero. With the support of the TLBOD and the residents of Treasure Lake we will continue to control the deer herd in our community.

In addition to facilitating the management programs, the Wildlife Committee also assists the TLBOD with other concerns where wildlife is involved.

If you have any question concerning the Wildlife Committee or the management program, you may email questions to gencon4@hotmail.com The Committee would also like to remind residents that feeding deer and other wild animals in Treasure Lake is against the by-laws set forth. Feeders, salt blocks, mineral licks and similar feeding stations are not permitted and subject to a fine. These types of devices draw deer, bear and other animals to the residential areas.
